It appears you won't be returning to twitter

It really is criminal how much preferential treatment lott is getting both now and under the previous administration. This alone should be grounds for an investigation into the site

I hope people get how big of a deal is that the government decided to side so blatantly against the workers

(journalist voice) One might say it is a poison. For the planet, that is

Did you know that Jerry Seinfeld trained for 17 years to prepare for his role in the omonimous sitcom? Google "Jerry Seinfeld 17 years" to learn more

I hope we manage to reduce emissions before we're forced to enact these desperate measures. Be prepared to strike if your industry isn't planning to reduce consumption to safe levels

Reminder that civil asset forfeiture amounts for more loss than burglary each year

Sure is. He was also sentenced for a ludicrous amount of tax evasion while in office and he is still in politics

Little domino tile: following the end of WWII, the US installs terrorist cells in Europe in fear of a communist takeover

Big domino tile: Silvio Berlusconi becomes prime minister of Italy in 1994

Gotta love a police state aided by unscrupulous technology companies

I'm always happy to see some esoteric unicode updates

I don't know if the hl actually influenced the development of the hsr, but that project itself wasn't enough. The USA sorely needs extensive and affordable passenger rail if we want to cut down on airline emissions

That's a terrible outlook. Mentally ill people (and in general the weakest in our society) still deserve representation, and there are no "vastly better" individuals. You're confusing education/health for inherent worth

It was about representation in positions of influence (politics, corporate boards, laboratories), which I think we agree should attempt to reflect the distribution of the populations

I took an ethics class on this. Basically some quotas should be necessary because of unconscious biases (e.g. the resume of a white person being preferred to one of a black person with the exact same qualifications), but it's not enough to fix disparities, mostly because the current structure of the economy benefits from the existence of a precarious underclass

Does anyone have any alternative extensions to it?

At some point knowingly engaging in this type of behavior should be considered a crime against humanity

Because there would be an increased chance you would unionize

There's no sense in arguing about it if you're a landlord, you have a monetary interest in the housing market staying this way and your relationship with your tenants is inherently adversarial

That's why I said if the tenant has been there for a sufficient time. If they have covered the unit's cost, plus maintenance, they have effectively paid for all the owner's expenses. Shouldn't it be enough to effectively own the property they actually live in?

With food the question is less about the individual stocks of produce and more about the land occupied to generate it and who owns it, which in a distressing amount of cases is single large landowners

If you own the building and live in one of the units the, in my opinion, most ethical course of action that still benefitted you would be to sell the remaining units to the current tenants or even better, if they've been living there long enough, treat their total rent paid as payment for the unit

Any commodization of a necessary resource for living is inherently unethical. I know this isn't a popular opinion on HN, but I need you to think about this not as the property owner but as the tenant

Don't PR for them for free. Soaring prices mean several more people will suffer the cold this winter

It's still inconceivable to me that we've allowed companies to put drm on video files and ebooks so they can snatch anything you bought legally from your hands

This reads like a parody

Damn, I was about to write this

Come on, there is a qualitative difference between buying an object and a medical procedure

As has been said several times: you can't prevent abortions from happening by outlawing them, you only make those that occur less safe
